Quepos - Saltwater Fishing Report
As we have had some good fishing in December, Ed Dunklee called last minute to do some inshore fishing with Quepos Sailfishing Charters. He was here in January and released 8 Sailfish and Dorado he came this time in search of Roosterfish. From start to finish, my second visit to use Quepos Sailfishing Charters
> for my charters and hotel booking was executed flawlessly and I could not
> be more pleased, especially considering the last minute nature of planning
> the trip. Sam was an absolute blast to have around during my visit, and he
> was one of the highlights of the trip, for sure! On the first day of
> fishing, Sam joined me on the Flyatcher for a full day of inshore for
> Roosters. Captain Nano and his mate got us hooked up on 5 fish, and we
> landed two Roosters. It was great having both the mate and Sam give tips
> and pointers to reel in my very first and second Roosters, as it required
> more finesse than what I am used to offshore. All three of the guys were
> great.

> On the second day of inshore fishing with the Flycatcher, a half day, we
> had many bites and landed 2 Jack Crevalles and it was a ton of fun to reel
> them in!
The mate and I also casted the popper from time to time and both
> of us got very excited when we spotted a school of Jacks materialize out
> of nowhere agressively pursuing the popper, that was an awesome sight!
> Just before wrapping up the day I had a big bite on the rod that I was
> freelining and set the hook into what we think was a decent sized snapper
> and thought we had a shot at a fish dinner, but that bad boy took off for
> the rocks about 10 minutes into the fight and managed to hide in a cave
> somewhere and we broke the line clean. Great experience! Nano and the
> mate were true professionals and I really enjoyed being out on thier boat.
> Can't wait to get back down again, and looking for a way to get back
> during the peak Sailfish season. Hope to see you soon!
